Application filed October 6, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, RICHARD MUNDLos, asubject of the King of Prussia, and residing at Magdeburg-N, in theKingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Sewing- Machine Frames, of which the following is aspecification.

y invention relates to sewing machines of the kind in which the frame isprovided with a trough-like box into which the head can be lowered, andmy invention has for its object to improve the construction of suchmachines so that the operator is enabled to assume a straight andconvenient position. To this end I so arrange and locate the headrelative to the table that the reciprocating needle moves approximatelyabove the middle of the treadle, while the head and the trough-like boxtherefor project over or beyond the lateral upright of the framecarrying the fly-wheel, the upper portion of said upright being extendedso as to afford the necessary space for the projecting location of thetrough-like box. This arrangement permits of the fly-wheel beingarranged outside the frame, the wheel thus not interfering with the workof the operator.

My invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 an end view of the machine,the lower part being shown broken off in Fig. 2.

(Z designates the table carrying in the usual way the head 5, adapted tobe lowered into the trough-like box a. The base-plate b on which thehead a is mounted is hinged or pivoted to the table d, so that the head6 can be let down into the box a. The head 6 is arranged on table (Z soas to Specification of Letters Patent.

project beyond the upright c of the frame. Due to this arrangement theneedle will reciprocate in a plane approximately in line with the centerof the treadle f so that the operator can assume a straight andconvenient position. The box a also projects beyond the upright c theupper portions 0 and c of which are spread in such a manner that the boxamay be accommodated between them, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The saidportions 0 and 0 can be carried around the outer wall of the box a andfixed in the usual manner to the underside of the table a? near itslonger edges. This arrangement whereby the head 6 is located to one sideof the table cl, so that it projects to some extent beyond one of theuprights, enables also the flywheel 6 to be arranged outside the frameand the table (Z itself need not be increased in size. Consequentlywidening of the frame is unnecessary and suihcient space is left freebetween the frame uprights to accommodate the operator.

I claim as my invention:

A sewing machine comprising a standard consisting of two uprights, oneupright being spread at the top so as to form an open space, a tablecarried by said standard, a trough-shaped box supported below said tableentirely within the spread portion of said upright, and a head mountedon said table and adapted to be lowered into said box, both said box andsaid head extending beyond the said upright.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

RICHARD MUNDLOS.
